A Good Start on the Summer Cooking

When June arrives, I begin to be attracted to lighter, cooler dishes. To celebrate the arrival of June, I threw together a Mexicanish chicken salad, which we had with a round of sourdough, tortilla chips & fresh salsa (Trader Joe's, not mine) and big hunks of sweet pineapple. For the chicken salad, I diced and sauteed a couple skinless, boneless chicken breasts. I mixed the chicken in a bowl with half a cup of diced celery, half a can of corn (drained) and 1/4 c. sliced black olives. Then, I mixed about 3/4 c. salsa with 1/2 c. sour cream and folded that into the salad, gently tossing until everything was coated.

One of my standby meals is chicken with black beans, salsa, olives, sour cream,corn and cheese. Makes a good like taco salad like thing for real cheap and easy. Oh, brown rice too.
